DunerDan Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 well iv been trying to get my 70 going. it runs great for about 10 min with the choke on then will die. with choke of it will run to 1/4 throttle then bog out. checked double checked and triple checked the timing valves and dark is good. im thinking it's the carb....pretty gunned and I can't get it any cleaner. soooooo who wants to bring an extra stock carb for me to try?

Bustin-bs Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Consider it done, just thew one in the tool box with air filter and intake. however what you are describing sounds like points. at least those are the symptoms.... Quote
DunerDan Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 ya I'm trying to rule things out...how should I test them? Thanks!! I appreciate it! Quote
vegas style Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 make sure its getting enough fuel. plugged pit-c*ck or filter Quote
DunerDan Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 thanks steve. I have good fuel, and compression. I think bustin is correct. I am looking at points now a's I spin the flywheel I cannot see them openin and there is no gap, it's touching....guess I need new points I sure hope I can get it going by Saturday.... Quote
Time2Dune Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I'll bring an extra set of points if you cant get it running. Quote
mineurbiz Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Bring it out either way, I am sure with everyone there, it will be running. I am bringing my second one out and I hope it will run. Thanks to Steve, I have all the parts I need to get her going again. Quote
DunerDan Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 awesome. ya I know u guys will help out and I really appreciate it! I'll be out Friday morn early so hopefully by the afternoon one of you gurus will figure it out Quote
Island Chain Racing Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Sounds like the jets r clogged . Try and take the carb apart and blow the jets with some air or carc cleaner. For thees darn 70's to run rite the carb gotta hella clean. Quote
DunerDan Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 ya the jets are super clean. it's run great for about 5-10 min. I ruining it's the points now because everything else is good. thanks to these guys help i should have it running by Friday afternoon!! I'll be looking for u bustin-bs time2dune and minurbiz I'll be looking for you fri morn! Quote
